Best Christmas Present Ever!

So I am apparently bad at hiding things but our family got one of the best gifts ever this year - a new baby. That's right! There will be a new baby ski added to our family in August 2010!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The Mad Hatter Song

We have seen "Abby in Wonderland" about a million times and Libby loves to sing along to the songs. Too cute.

I want to shoot with the boys

It's a Mirly Christmas

We had Christmas at my parent's house on Saturday. Normally we do it Christmas Day but our trips to Disney World (we leave in 11 days!!) changed those plans.



Even though it wasn't officially Christmas yet, it sure felt like it.




We ate great thanks to my Mom's awesome cooking and the kiddo's had a blast playing and opening presents.







Merry Christmas!!

Libby thought this was so stinking funny - to put her Daddy's hands over her ears. We have had to do this over and over again and she holds our hands where we can't move them (see picture for proof). I have to admit, it is pretty funny!

Wordless Wednesday (a little late)

When asking Jim to get a hair cut, I threatened to hang ornaments on his head if he didn't. Guess the joke is on me?

1st Annual Mirly Cookie Party

We decided to try to start a cookie party as a tradition for the Mirly half of my family. This year we hosted it at my sister's house. We made about 14 (!) dozen cookies (i think) and that was with me making about 8 before we got there so the kiddos could decorate some. They were able to decorate about 3 dozen in about 20 minutes. There were sprinkles flying everywhere! Not really =) But they really did about 3 dozen in 30 minutes!








The really special thing about it was that it was my Dad's first time decorating cookies! He did a great job. Oh, and my mom really was there even though I missed her in every single picture I took. She, in fact, did the bulk of the baking that day. Here is proof.




It was a great time and I really do hope we can continue this tradition!

Holiday Spirit

We were ahead of the game in decorating the outside of our house for Christmas. But due to some illnesses, we quickly were behind in decorating the inside of our house. This weekend we just decided to do it and ended up having a blast. Libby especially had an awesome time. She even declared our tree "beautiful" - a word I didn't know who 1) knew and 2) could say. Take a look of some of my favorite pics from decorating.
